Love is the weapon of the future

God's promises

God can turn

Un esprit de force, d'amour et de raison

"Ce n'est pas un esprit de peur que Dieu nous a donné,

mais un esprit de force, d'amour et de raison." (Timothée 1)

Paz

Característica evidente de um homem de Deus, de uma mulher de Deus, é a paz na alma: tem "a paz" e dá "a paz" às pessoas com quem convive. (Forja, 649).
